Let's Play Final Fantasy 10!

Episode 35 - Christmas Flux!

https://youtu.be/EQHsazhIOZI


Merry Christmas!!! I hope you have a great day and while it's Christmas Eve here, I'm not sure if I'd be able to upload later or tomorrow so here we go ;).

This time around, we're taking on one of my toughest bosses of the game: Seymour Flux and his little buddy; that's right, Yuna's lack of sending ability means that Seymour has returned more powerful than ever! :eek:

------------------------------------------------------------

Seymour Flux And His Little Buddy Strategy:

- The key to this fight is to keep Seymour silenced at all costs! Silence Buster every turn is amazingly useful here, even if it's not that useful elsewhere in the game. Again: every turn :).
- If someone becomes a zombie, use a holy water on them during your next character's turn. You don't have those items? I'm sure Oaka's bro just down from the save point will help you out ;).
- Otherwise, overdrives (including aeons') will plow through his HP. Taking down his little buddy with a multi-target attack will add some more damage too.
- If you desperately can't beat him and have tonnes of gil, use Yojimbo's overdrive and pay him loads of gil (the exact amount varies based on number of Yojimbo deaths and stuff). This will be an insta-kill attack.

------------------------------------------------------------

We also collect another crest for our celestial weapons (more on this later) and have a pretty huge twist to our Tidus' story to take in. The game has just had an extra layer added to its plot :eek:.

Thanks so much for watching! Again: have a nice Christmas sirs and madams! :D
 
Episode 36 - Into The Cave

https://youtu.be/1LuBtIU23OM


Hey all, let's head into the cave at Mt Gagazet! This place is most notable for its hiiiigh encounter rate (prepare for the stressing...).

Considering we didn't nab white wind and mighty guard from the ronsos, now is a great time to get them. Dark Flans have white wind and Behemoths have mighty guard. If you don't meet a behemoth here, they appear more often in the next area, so no worries ;).

I've always found it strange how this is the only mandatory cave dungeon in the game, when most JRPGs have millions of them :s. I also find it strange how there are weird glowy trials in the cave, but let's not speak of that ;).

Oh, I nearly forgot to mention that you need to collect all the monsters both here and on the snowy trail to get your reward for Mt Gagazet! It's something really important too, so get your hunting shoes on! :D

Thanks so much for watching! We'll be taking on the boss of the cave next and probably checking out the next area too. Depends on the length of the cinematics :wacky:.
 
Episode 37 - My Sanctuary

https://youtu.be/Appa16j-7Cw


Hey there folks, I'm feeling a little bit of Kingdom Hearts with that name ha! But anyways, we've finally made it back to Zanarkand! We won't get to see it really today though, since Lady Yunalesca (Yuna's namesake?) has sent us a test to see if we are worthy guardians and summoner...

----------------------------------------

Sanctuary Keeper Strategy:

- Hastega is vital! Keep up that speed!
- Overdrives are always good, but you can't rely them too much for this fight seeing as he can prevent them with that status ailment that has left my mind at the moment :/.
- Keep on healing
- Poison with bio, if you like. It does decent damage each turn (about 2000 if I remember right?).
- Look out for Mana Blaster! Try to get an aeon out to intercept it if you possibly can :).

----------------------------------------

We get so many cutscenes from then on. Yuna's last words to us guardians before her death-to-come and our return to the opening cutscene; the campfire. That's right! From here on out, we're not listening and watching a story anymore, but actually living it! In the present!

Thanks for watching folks! Next time it'll be Zanarkand with that ever-stunning song and just so much nostalgia :'(. See you there!
 
Episode 38 - To Zanarkand!

https://youtu.be/gpMLqW4UD5Q


Hey all, we've made it to Zanarkand! With the music playing through the battles (and with it being one of the best tracks in the game) there's some stunning effects and nostalgia incoming! :eek:. Just make sure to nab Mighty Guard from the behemoth and capture him too (if you didn't see him in the cave beforehand)! Otherwise, keep an eye out for some level 3 key spheres and you're good to go!

You also get to see more of Jecht, Auron and Braska's pilgrimage; who needs another game to cover their story when it's shown in the main game, eh? ;)

Thanks so much for watching! The trials are coming up and dear lord can they be a pain. Fair warning! :D
 
Episode 39 - Zanarkand's Memoria

https://youtu.be/1hwv7SNOaPQ


Hey all, we finally made it to Zanarkand's cloister of trials! This is the last proper cloister of trials and is all about trial and error and memory. It sounds bad but...give it a few goes and you should be fine (or just follow the vid ha).

Other than that, we take on the first boss of the place...

------------------------------------------

Spectral Keeper Strategy:

- Keep your party member with the highest strength on the opposite side of the field than the others. Trigger commands let you move.
- Buff him and Yuna with protect and haste
- Attack with the attacker, but make sure the keeper is facing him first.
- Heal up after every counter attack.
- Don't take off berserk. It boosts your attack power.

------------------------------------------

That boss is one that I always get stuck on...it's so easy for everything to go wrong :s.

Thanks so much for watching! I'll see you next time for the other boss(es) of the temple and check out the final aeon ;).
 
Episode 40 - Yunalesca's Zombie Head

https://youtu.be/Bj37XDWUkXY


Hey there folks, first off I'd like to apologise for the length of this one lol. It kinda overran, but now we've made it to the last of the story episodes for a bit!

As for the actual content, this episode has us go to nab the final aeon, with a wee bit of a surprise! A naked lady who has a fetish for zombies being it...

------------------------------------------------

Lady Yunalesca Strategy:

- If you have Holy, you'll want to cast it here as many times as possible. All three forms are weak to it.
- Make sure to always leave one party member on zombie while the other two aren't. You could try having two zombie characters instead, if you like. This avoids the mega-death spell she casts :s.
- Use Holy Waters to remove Zombie if your whole party gets affected. I don't think Esuna removes zombie :s.
- Otherwise, it's a matter of just keeping your health up and dishing out as much damage as possible! It ain't a short fight ;).

------------------------------------------------

We also grab ourselves something that will rip the heart out of your body if you miss it: the sun crest. Or sigil. I always mix those up :/. Either way, if you miss it here, you'll never be able to return for it :eek:.

Thanks so much for watching! There's plenty more plot etc (plenty of cutscenes), but I'll leave those for you to have a gander.

P.S. Like I was saying above, this is the last story episode for a bit. Tonnes of bonus content is coming before we continue properly, now that we have the airship and have access to most places we've been to. I'm not sure if we'll go for 2 bonus episodes per FF10 day, or just stick with one to keep it all simple. Keep an eye out and I'll probably say on twitter what's up with the uploads :).

It'll all be uploaded in the form of: Episode 40b, 40c, 40d, ending with 40h. See you in a bit! :)
 
Episode 40b - Tidus' Brontophobia

https://youtu.be/IVwInSdeTrw


Hey peoples, it's time for the first bonus episode of around 7 or 8! This time around, we're gonna attempt to dodge 200 lightning bolts in a row in the Thunder Plains! Can we do it and get something extra good for Lulu (Venus something something)? Can we, can we???

Thanks so much for watching! More bonuses incoming (one will be uploaded today too!) :).

-----------------------------------------------

Episode 40c - Raging Butterflies

https://youtu.be/GbiIYB2_9r8


And hello again! This time we'll be collecting butterflies in Macalania Woods for a great item for Kimahri (Saturn something something). Excuse the raging! This FF10 sidequest stuff really takes it's toll on your sanity :s.

Oh! we also reunite a family in the woods ready for later. You HAVE to do this in order to get the ultimate weapons all made and stuff later on :).

Thanks so much for watching! Plenty more bonuses to come before we continue with the main story :).
 
Episode 40d - The Cactuar Family Riddles

https://youtu.be/tawxbiWLLIk


Hey there folks, it's time for us solve some riddles and find 10 cactuars around Bikanel Desert! This is so time-consuming, but luckily we have the aid of video-editing! ;). This is all for Riku's Mercury Sigil!

We also take on Remiem Temple, grab the cloudy mirror, transform it into the celestial mirror, nab Kimahri's spirit lance (his celestial weapon), along with Yuna's Nirvana (her celestial weapon). We're making progress! :D

Thanks so much for watching! Plenty more to come :).

P.S. Those crafty little cactuars are such shitebags! I'd love a plushy of one though :s.
 
Episode 40e - Fluffy Chocobo Hair

https://youtu.be/GvIbYZcfN10


Hey there folks, a tonne more progress is incoming in this bonus episode! The main thing I wanted to get done was the chocobo race on the Calm Lands...which is so bloody evil and based on luck it's not even funny :/. Still, it nets you both the Sun sigil for Tidus and his ultimate weapon: the Caladbolg!

We also check out the airship's password locations and most of the scan and search locations too (just the quick ones really). We also head on back to the farplanes to see some optional cutscenes involving a few dead people and nab ourselves Lulu's venus crest (though that's pretty pointless by now).

Finally, we head back to the Zanarkand temple to get the secret item you have to get once you have the airship. That means we have all the secret temple items! More on that later. :D

Thanks so much for watching! More bonus episodes to come etc etc ;).
 
Episode 40f - Stop. That Is Enough.

https://youtu.be/PMuQvXRHZ7Y


Hey there all, here comes yet another bonus episode! This time around we crack on with the aeon fights in Remiem Temple, which as you can imagine is pretty time-consuming. Thank god we got a new aeon beforehand though.

Speaking of the new aeon, we get it by heading to the Baaj Temple with all the temples' secret items! Anima is pretty incredible; the best consistent (normal) aeon in the game really. To get him though, there's yet another threat...

------------------------------------------------------------

Geosgaeno Strategy:

- Equip armour with Stoneward/Stoneproof (proof is obviously better, but ward should get you through). Your characters will smash and be out of the battle for good if they get petrified underwater :/.
- Counter-attack is a great ability.
- Any thunder-based items with Rikku is worth a shot. They're quick to use and give her more turns. Mixing them with her overdrive is pretty great too.
- Make sure to heal with al bhed potions now and then. They should be enough to help you survive, especially since his attacks don't just half your HP like they used to ;).

------------------------------------------------------------

Once aaaaall of this is done and we have Seymour's mother on our side, we nab the final aeon (not THE final aeon, but y'know): Magus Sisters! Played FF4? They're a wee bit different here, but they're amaaaazing :D.

Thanks so much for watching! More bonusy stuffs coming soon! :)
 
Episode 40g - Gotta Catch 'em All!

https://youtu.be/Wm3v_mGK1ro


Hey there folks, let's go catch us some monsters, shall we? I want to keep this summary short so I'll just say that I enjoyed making this little montage and think it came out ok :s.

We also make all of our celestial weapons on the crystal path! This takes a wee while due to explanations and stuff, but we get there ha :D.

Thanks for watching! The last of this chunk of bonus episodes is coming next! :)

-------------------------------------------------

Episode 40h - The Ultimate Ruins

https://youtu.be/ZpbEkHfg4oc


Why hello there again chucks! Let's wrap up these bonus episodes with the Omega Ruins, shall we? ;). This is just a quick look around ending with the ultima weapon boss :).

There's a tonne of sphere grid movement at the start, so head on over to the 20 minute mark to skip. I did loads of level grinding here, you see :s.

Thanks so much for watching! Back to the main story next time! :)
 
Episode 41 - The Big Guy Himself

https://youtu.be/8OBLHtQDDXo


Hey there folks, this time around, we're taking on Sin! That's right, we're finally done with our batch of bonus episodes lmao (though there's one more left after we finish the game). There are tonnes of cinematics that bring it to the forefront and it reaaaaally adds to the hype ha!

As for the fight itself, it's split into a tonne of parts. Remember on each part to use armour break and then just hack away. Once you reach the timed part (you'll see the bar on the top of the screen), hastega is your best mate and all you have to do from then on is hit away with distant attacks. Once it's close enough, armour/mental break and hack away. Remember: if the bar fills up, it's instant KO! Not just damage, but you get white-screened and whoosh! Dead :/.

Thanks so much for watching! After some incredible cinematics, we're heading into the final dungeon next time. Pull up your breaches and prepare yourself! :eek:

P.S. I swear that timer bar gave me nightmares as a midget :/.
 
Episode 42 - Death Awaits Seymour

https://youtu.be/6b3bv9A11YA


Hey there folks, are you ready to head into Sin? It's a bizarre old place, but it's incredible to level grind here, if you fancy it. you can always leave too via a save sphere; remember that you'll have to start the entire dungeon again though, if you do.

There's only one major threat in our way that is ever so strange.

-------------------------------------------------

Seymour Omnis Strategy:

- Equip as much elemental armour as possible. He's still a mage.
- The colour/s pointing at Seymour dictate what element he will use and also what element you should oppose. If he has white elements aiming at him, cast Firaga, for example.
- Aeons won't help much here, unless they have their overdrive bar full. He's still ready to give a good banishing when they've attacked once.

-------------------------------------------------

It's a tough old boss based on the damage he deals, but once you realise he's a Spherimorph with his elemental weakness always showing, it's not so bad.

Thanks for watching! While we do plenty more in this ep, it's mostly just traversing the dungeon so...more on its way next time! :)
 
Episode 43 - Braska's Final Aeon

https://youtu.be/AsnXkrF2MYI


Hey there folks, let's enter the tower within Sin! This is a minigame where you need to collect the almost spherical crystals while avoiding the crystal spikes :s. Sin's eaten some bloody weird stuff lmao.

Also, we take on the last boss that you can die on!

--------------------------------------------------

Braska's Final Aeon (Jecht) Strategy:

- Focus your attacks entirely on Jecht. Use your most powerful spells, attacks and overdrives...he's got a tonne of health!
- When the bar is full, bring out an aeon as soon as possible! It hits pretty darn hard :s.
- Otherwise, just keep healed up and use all of your best items! You've reached that point in every JRPG where you'll never need them again :).

--------------------------------------------------

There's a tearjerker of a cinematic to end things off :(.

Thanks so much for watching! The last episode is coming next time :eek:! Other than the bonus episode afterwards, I mean lol :lew:. In a bit!
 
Episode 44 - ~Thanks For Watching~

https://youtu.be/McOP9tbWkpw


Hey folks, here's the end of Final Fantasy 10! This episode has the last boss, who can't be lost to; Yu Yevon just requires you to continuously attack. You have constant auto-life too so it's really no stress.

We also get to experience the end cinematics along with the credits, which are reeeeeeally nice watching and listening. I give some sort of review, but it's crap lmao. Still! It's there.

Thank you so much for watching this series! It's been a long one, but it's all done! I mean...keep an eye out for the last bonus episode. It'll be up tomorrow and links FF10 with FF10-2, so it's well worth a watch. See you tomorrow! :)
 
Episode 45 - Eternal Calm ~FIN~

https://youtu.be/JqpX6viKgP4


Hey there folks, I thought we'd wrap up this series with the Eternal Calm! this is a cutscene that links 10 and 10-2, so it's a nice way to end it all I reckon. I've never actually seen this before so it's nice to finally experience it :).

Thank you all so much for watching this series! I've loved every second (except that pesky lightning bolt bit and butterfly bit *mumble mumble*). While I will be LPing 10-2 at some point, it could be a ways off yet! I love these games, but dear lord, I need a break after all that 0_0.

Thanks again! See you again iiiiin a bit folks! ;)
